Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Ermanno was a truly generous and caring host! I was only able to stay a short while but he went out of his way to make my stay comfortable and fun. His place is a work in progress with lots of potential, and I hope someday I can come back and do some of the mosaics that I wanted to do. The work that I did do was not difficult but it was rewarding to make my small contribution to his place and his vision. Thank you, Ermanno!

Elena thanks for the time we had together the weather was dreadful, but thats makes no change, we had a realy good time, you was us a big friendly help!

Lemon's stay has been full of fun and beauty. Our kids miss her and so do we. Lemon is a productive and hard-working human with excellent communication and a big heart. Our's is a fairly chaotic environment with lots of energetic wildlings on the run, but Lemon was very skillful in navigating a group of mixed age kids (and their parents!) . Lemon's knowledge is grounded in studies and work experience that meant really useful impulses, insights and suggestions for our kids were shared. I'm grateful for the meals Lemon prepared with such care, bringing our community together round the table at a time when we were feeling too stretched to offer big communal meals. Lemon was also a total angel in the house, often going above and beyond the required exchange and making the house feel lovely. I felt like we quickly built trust and that there was a lot of energy and willingness to engage in the whole of life here, and also to dive into friendships and share lifes journey with all it's highs and lows. It was clear from the start that here was a person with capacity for deep connection, whom you could confide in, trust, offer feedback to, get useful feedback from, give and receive support, party with, and enjoy living alongside. We hope to welcome Lemon again.

I wish I could truly express in words how incredible this place is. It is without a doubt the perfect workaway experience. Paul and Kelly are the most gracious, generous, and kind hosts. They immediately made me feel so welcome. Paul is an amazing communicator and working with him everyday was such a treat. The animals are so loved and well cared for and it was such an honor to be a part of their day to day lives. I cannot wait to return one day, because this place will stay forever in my heart.

Aminda and Teo are amazing people, very welcoming and true in opening their house and daily life to hosts. The place is stunning and the house is super cozy, perfect if you want to discover a more rural and local part of Gran Canaria. The job that has been asked was pretty chill and fully appropriate for our deal! Hope to come back to visit you guys after these 2 great weeks and gracias por todos! <3

Punta Hermosa and Casa Mar are truly special places. I feel very greatful to have volunteered here. Patrice and his family are very hospitable and he is a lovely host. The hostel has a lot of character and attracts an awesome crowd. I would highly recommend volunteering here if you have the opportunity!

Anouk came to our shelter for 3 weeks and fitted in so well to our team. Despite having no previous experience in a shelter Anouk was a natural around the dogs and cats and brought a lovely, heard working ethos. She is a quick learner and uses her initiative, happy to do menial but necessary chores such as cleaning and washing up. She also walked the dogs, helped with training and fostered a dog in the volunteer accommodation as well as helping with outreach work. This is our first workaway experience and was such a positive experience for us, we would highly recommend Anouk as a volunteer.

Ellen volunteered with us teaching English, and it was a pleasure to have her as part of our team. She was organized, reliable, and built great relationships with her students. She was also very supportive of the other volunteers and always willing to help when needed. We would happily recommend her to other projects!

Simon can and helped us out really last minute. He has excellent skills in chain sawing and welding which were just what we needed. He's also an fine artist and black smith. He took on all the work we needed doing, hapily. He is great fun, energetic and it felt like he was an old friend of ours. He is welcome back anytime!

Baris & Edie were absolutely amazing! They helped us in so many ways during their stay. From planting trees to supporting our restaurant construction, and even helping with cleaning, they were always ready to jump in. What we appreciated most was that they were constantly asking how they could help. Such a lovely, hardworking couple with beautiful energy. We truly wish them all the best and would welcome them back anytime.

If we somehow could have kept Jeanne and Julien here, we would have :-D We spent two wonderful weeks together, worked really well together and enjoyed many nice moments and conversations. Both of them were very helpful, worked independently and skillfully. Always ready to give us a hand with everything ranging from milking, repairing fences and watching the kids. Thank you again, we miss you and hope to see you again. All the best <3

We really enjoyed hosting Cristian. He is smart, responsible, and hardworking. He's motivated to be a better person and I know he will succeed where he puts his mind to it!

Excelente voluntaria Visctoria!. Disfrute de su visita!!!!

I decided to host Rebecca to finish one of my 'to-be-done' projects. I simply told her what I needed, and she gave it her all. The output was above and beyond my expectations, thanks to her dedication and creativity. Her background in architecture could be incredibly useful for your project. Rebecca is very responsible and mature, which saved me so much time in monitoring my team. The house was peaceful and quiet while she was here. She is kind, polite, and flexible (perhaps thanks to her yoga practice! ;P)

An immersive experience in Istanbul. It is full of very interesting, intelligent and kind people from all walks of life. I felt that I met real Turkish culture and hospitality, as everyone was so lovely, and it was a very educational experience to learn from all these different perspectives. Cansu and Evin are wonderful managers, being supportive and sweet, and the accomodation was really nice, and like a home in the winter cold. I learnt so much from everyone in Istanbul and all the other volunteers, who made me feel at home and who are now friends for life. Thanks Istanbul and team 🌞

Thank you for being so incredibly warm and welcoming. We stayed with Ritney, Luch and their gorgeous boys for just over a month and had a very special time. We had the opportunity to work on the construction of an outdoor oven, which was an extremely rewarding project. Ritney and Luch were such amazing, collaborative and supportive hosts. Our stay was perfectly balanced between building the oven, swimming at the beach, hanging out with the kids and combing the neighbouring streets for fallen mangos with lots of free time to ourselves in between. The family are running the Workaway in the best way Workaways can be run. After 6 months of travel it felt like a home away home. We are so grateful to have felt this and hope to return again someday. And please if the boys ever find themselves in the southern hemisphere along their journeys we would absolutely love to host them. Liam & Poppy

I highly recommend this Workaway. Rachel was a superb host. She was really easy to communicate with and she made a lot of effort to make sure we had everything we needed to carry out our duties, be comfortable and enjoy our stay. The house is lovely, on a quiet beach 4km away from the busy town. Thanks Rachel x

Shirin set me up with one of her friends in JB to do some gardening work because her rooms were occupied. It was overall a good experience. Shirin also invited me over to lunch and dinner at her neighbor's place for Chinese New Year. That was really nice of her. Thank you Shirin

Kilian arrived right in the middle of a particularly intense “winter” front and, somehow, managed to wake up drier than me every single day, despite the small detail that I was sleeping in the main cabin while he was out in the bushes, perfectly comfortable in his hammock. He has a very efficient way of looking at problems and great skills for bringing half-formed ideas down to earth. He built the kitchen dryer cabinet within a few days of me casually mentioning the idea while washing the dishes. All of this while also helping fix the water system multiple times after rain floods and working on the repellent screens on the second floor to prevent rainwater from sneaking into the house. I’m very grateful for the time he spent here and for his willingness to step in and help, especially during a rather chaotic time. Killian was a thoughtful, proactive, and easygoing guest and we’d welcome him back home without thinking twice. Thank you Kilian! :)

Katarina was so friendly and she did an amazing job empowering children at our centre. She was part of our English camp. She is a good team player and worked well with us. We wish her all the best.
